“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”
“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a heart full of love for DOGS and CATS alike. My pomeranian died two years ago and she wasn't just my dog, she was one of the family. She went everywhere with me. When your dog comes to our home, they will be treated like one of the family. When I have to get my daughter from school, there is a good possiblity, your dog will get to go for a car ride too. Just like they were my kid!! Daily walks are a must too. That is unless they just don't want to that day. I am flexible. We have playtime too. I am currently working remotely so I can give your furries all the love and attention they could possible need and want. They can have bathroom breaks as needed as well as daily walks. We have a fenced in yard so your furries are safe with us. We have one small dog and 4 cats that are friendly to other animals.
About: I grew up in a dog loving household, from puppies to senior dogs. I’ve helped raise them all with love, care and effection every day When I lived at home, taking dogs for walks, making sure they eat, making sure they play and relax are all very important for life. A fenced yard is always better, unless they’re trained off leash. If they’re allowed inside, even better. Love and affection are super important for care
“Khylei thank you so much for watching our big goofy boy. You have done an excellent job of keeping us up to date with pictures so we didn't miss him so much. And yes we will get his ear looked at.”
“Halle took care of my sweet boy Milo for about 10 days. She was super patient with him as he warmed up to her, was responsive with directions, and made sure he was well taken care of during that time. I would absolutely book her again!!!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for 8 years and truly love spending time with pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet-care needs. I’m reliable with scheduling and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and will follow their normal routines and your specific instructions. I’m respectful of your home, keep pets supervised, and provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: With over 13 years of experience caring for other people’s furbabies, plus a lifetime of my own dogs and cats, I bring genuine, hands on comfort to every visit. I’m confident administering oral medication, trimming nails, brushing coats, and walking dogs of any size or energy level, from a calm senior stroll to a fullon zoomie session. Whatever your pup needs, I’ll treat them like family. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for evening visits after 5pm on weeknights, giving your pet consistent, reliable care even on busy days. Weekends open up more with time for longer visits, extra playtime, and one-on-one attention. Whenever I’m with your pet, I’m fully present and focused on them and their care and happiness. I provide all my care in clients’ homes so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine and comforts. Safety is a top priority on every visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, and follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly as given. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own: keeping it secure, respecting your privacy, and leaving everything just as I found it.
About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends pets, big and small, for 10+ years! I have two small senior dogs, so I have plenty of experience for caring for older pups! I am currently working full time, but make sure to have a schedule that is compatible with watching your pups! We make sure to get plenty of walks in and potty breaks as well. I have a fenced in back yard, one small senior dog to keep your baby comfortable, and the ability to crate if needed! We love to snuggle on the couch and don’t mind if your pup needs to sleep in bed with us to feel safe!
About: Senior dogs are my specialty. I understand that older pups may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent potty breaks, shorter walks, mobility accommodations, or simply someone who is happy to sit beside them and provide some company. Sometimes the best walk is a leisurely sniff around the block—and sometimes it’s a very dignified stroll to the mailbox. I’m here for both. What sets me apart is that I treat your dog like an individual, not a checklist. I pay attention to their personality, routine, comfort level, and those little quirks that make them them. I’m responsible, observant, dependable, and genuinely love animals. And if your senior pup prefers naps, snacks, and judging the neighbors from the window? I speak that language too. I am available Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and most weekends for a morning stroll, potty break, or simple snuggles. Safety and your comfort are my priority. Your home, their rules. 🐾 I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pup is most comfortable. I’ll follow your routines, instructions, feeding schedules, medications (if applicable), and all those very important household rules—yes, even the one about not letting them convince me they “haven’t been fed yet.” 😉 During visits, your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being appropriately spoiled. I do not provide boarding or pet care in my own home. My goal is to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your dog by caring for them right where they’re happiest: at home, in their own space, with their own stuff.
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.
About: I grew up having dogs since I was a toddler and I’m very comfortable with them. I used to work at a doggy daycare as well where I learned a lot about reading dogs behavior and understanding when they’re comfortable. I have a large backyard for dogs that need space to roam around and plenty of space to potty for all. My 4 year old is always with me so I can only host a dog that is good with children and not aggressive. I’m a stay at home mom so I can provide a lot of potty breaks and attention to your pets! I have a 4 year old daughter that loves cats and dogs and has lots of energy so adding an animal to our routine is very easy. I’m always very respectful of your place. I know the trust that must be involved to let someone into your home and I don’t want to ruin that trust!
“Audra was so good with my shy, anxious dog. We quickly felt comfortable with her, and Dezi warmed up to her right away. Audra was professional and friendly. I’m hiring her as our dog sitter for my next trip!”
“We are very pleased with the services Ninva provided. She came over and played with our dog and took him for walks around the neighborhood. She was very communicative; always let us know how he did and sent pictures. We will hire her again if the need arises.”
“Maddy has been so amazing with my pup. She is flexible has been a life saver with my night shift schedule. Nala loves her and I love the cute little pup updates while i am at work❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Citrus Heights
This was my first time using Rover and Lorena made it such a great experience! I was so impressed with how communicative she was throughout the day. She sent pictures and videos, asked questions when needed, and even managed to coax Daisy into eating, which is difficult to do when I’m not there. Knowing Daisy was in such good hands today gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave Daisy and would absolutely recommend her. Looking forward to working with you again!
This is our second time booking with Johanna and she is absolutely incredible!! She is so sweet and loving with our dog and is very communicative while we’re gone and great with checking in with photos and messages!! Thank you Johanna for taking care of our boy and we can’t wait to book with you again!!
Ella is an absolute angel! My family was going out of town for one night & we were really worried about our dog, Ava, but she made us feel so comfortable & Ava seemed to be just fine with Ella! She sent pictures and made sure to stay in contact with us. I would definitely recommend & use her again.
Madison is incredible. I booked 7 days while I was away on vacation to watch both my dog and cat. I felt comfortable the entire time. She asked all the right questions, had excellent communication, and provided regular updates. You’re in good hands with Madison!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Citrus Heights is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $56 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,041 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Citrus Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Citrus Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
